System VMs on Managed Storage
This PR makes it easier to spin up system VMs on managed storage.
Managed storage is when you have a dedicated volume on a SAN for a
particular virtual disk (making it easier to deliver QoS).
For example, with this PR, you'd likely have a single virtual disk for a
system VM. On XenServer, that virtual disk resides by itself in a storage
repository (no other virtual disks share this storage repository).
Same concept for vSphere. The virtual disk of the system VM would reside by
itself in a datastore (no other virtual disks share this datastore).
It was possible in the past to spin up system VMs that used managed
storage, but this PR facilitates the use case by making changes to the System
Service Offering dialog (and by putting in some parameter checks in the
management server).

Throw an exception if customized IOPS or hypervisor snapshot reserve are
passed in for a system VM.
